I'm going to discount the Lady Gaga = hermaphrodite one. It was top of Google Image search for months, and hits were accordingly skewed. (And don't bother searching for it, because I took the entry down: you can find the photograph here, if you really want to.)

I suppose it should come as no surprise that six of these 11 entries have direct links to Kurt Cobain - they're mostly publicised on Facebook and Twitter, and the majority of the people who follow me on those sites do so (I'd imagine) for the perceived Nirvana connection.
The Cribs entry was heavily linked-to by the band themselves: and most of this Top 11 have been featured in other blogs, news stories, etc.

The most read one on my blog is our thin kids interview. Interesting it used to be how to write a song. I think we might be onto something big here!
